Long COVID is defined as symptoms that persist for more than four weeks after the initial COVID-19 infection.
Imperial College London estimates that more than 2 million adults in England have had Long COVID for over 12 weeks (24/06/21). This is almost double the previous estimate from the Office of National Statistics (ONS).
